Ahmadinejad’s World Order
Kamangir | April 19, 2006 | Category Iran
Previously, I talked about Ahmadinejad’s new plan to increase crude oil price (see). The Persian report reveals even more interesting details (see). ISNA, a state-run news agency, reports that during a joint meeting between cabinet members and governors Ahmadinejad talked about the new plan which is to be proposed to the oil producing countries by the ministers of oil and economics. After complaining about the “low price of crude oil” which “benefits developed countries” Ahmadinejad revealed his new idea. Basically, the idea is to increase the crude oil price and then to establish a common fund in which exportingting countries will deposit a part of their extra income. This fund will then be used to help poor countries. I really appreciate the translators who ignored these parts of his genuine idea.
Showing Off Their Assets
Kamangir | April 19, 2006 | Category Iran
“The products derived from crude oil cost over 10 times the price of oil sold by producing states” stated Ahmadinejad in the state-run Tehran Radio (see) (see). He mentioned this after complaining that “the global oil price has not reached its real value yet”. He then added “oil is the major asset of nations possessing it”. It seems that Ahmadinejad is playing another card in the game, like the naughty boy that tries to show how bad he can be. In this case, it is like shouting “don’t you forget to nuke us, Mr. Bush!”
Angry Women
Kamangir | April 19, 2006 | Category Iran

These ladies were among the women protesting in Tehran to restrain what they call “uncoveredness/miscoveredness” (Persian: بی ØØ¬Ø§Ø¨ÛŒ/Ø¨Ø¯ØØ¬Ø§Ø¨ÛŒ). I assume the pictures show their family members, probably husbands and/or her sons, whom were killed in the war between Iran and Iraq. I understand them if they hate to watch sexy girls wandering in the streets when their beloved ones were killed in the “holy defense” for the sake of the “holy land of the Islamic Republic of Iran” (both well-known terms in the Islamic Republic literature, Persian: کشور مقدس جمهوری اسلامی ایران ,Ø¯ÙØ§Ø¹ مقدس).
